Oh my god yes!! I've had it for about 3 weeks, i'm 17 weeks, I thought it was just me being weird, got really paranoid & thought it was giving me bad breath so brushed my teeth about 5 times a day, would really like to know what it is!!

I get this too, about 3/4 times a week. It's grim. Often makes me gag. I put it down to the 'extra blood causing nasal passages to swell causing bunged upness' but judging by the near-permanent acid jumping up my pipes, think it may be acid reflux.

I've had this, but not when pregnant. It's called 'post nasal drip', I think. It was to do with a bit of a cold I had - could that be it?

Sounds right to me stow - since being pregnant I've been sniffly a lot, nose running, getting bunged up at night, though not a cold or flu in sight! post-nasal drip would definitely explain it.

I've had this on and off since I first found out I was pregnant (I'm 22 weeks)... It has calmed down now but I still get it occasionally and it is so bad it makes me sick!!

Yes i think it is acid reflux. Mine has stopped past couple of days. Glad im not going mad :)
